That such parade started within twenty
minutes of schedule time, covered its route
without any tedious delays and there was
not an accident worthy of the name and
scarcely so many arrests as an ordinary Sat
urday night furnishes, is the highest possible
compliment 10 the efficiency of the manage

with the Supreme Court and the General of
the Army and running down through bril-

Your miIdness of expression most en-
phatically gave the lie to sentiments which
you are credited with here, and everywhere
else by the enemies of truth and Justice.

man, every patriot, who has suffered and
would suffer again in the cause of liberty.

asked to kiss the lash after it had laeerated
his back, as you to rejoice at the consuma.

your calmness that you did not by the use
OF violent language give color to the

IRELAND'S WRONGS.

"Even our irascible and amusing friend,
the Argonaut, must admit that the party of
American gentlemen who gave farewell
banquet to O'Brien in New York was not
composed of individuals seeking the Irish
or any other ''vote," and that it fairly rep
resented the intelligence and morality of
the country. The plain truth is, the "woes
of Ireland, " through good many years,
were little more than tease to folks who
really knew nothing about the facts. Per.
hnps the first awakening of large number
of serious Americans to the actual Atrocities
of British rule in Ireland may be said to
nave begun with the publication Of Leeky s
England in the Eighteenth Century. i"
From that point of illumination the light
has steadily penetrated to wider and a
wider circle. During the present agitation
numberless beacons and lanterns have been
lighted by the speeches of Gladstone,
Parnell, Morley, Trevelyan and other cham
pions of civilized government. Scarcely
less light has been shed by those of the
advocates of landlordism and TYRANNY
themselves. whole flood of illumination
has been cast on the fundamental ethics of
the case by the electric lights set up by
Henry George. Of course, there are mil
lions of people in this country yet, who.
like our neighbor the Argonaut, have read
nothing and know nothing about, and are
still merely teased by the "wrongs of Ire
land. 1t is not so many years since any
allusion to slavery over the nuts and wine
at polite dinner-table would have been an
offense against good manners not second to
that of introducing religion, for example.
But the manners of dir ner tables did not
avert the discussion of that topic in a pain
fully public and heated-even clamorous
manner little later on. No; the "wrongs
of Ireland d"-unfashionable, even, though
the topic be-will not again down at
anybody's bidding; and sign of more than
ordinary significance may be discerned by
those endowed with vision in the presidency
of ex-Mayor Grace of New York at the
O'Brien dinner. The people have not
been made free by gentlemen learned Gin
the nice conduct of cloubed cane;" nor
will the coldest disapproval of the class
that (quite properly wears kid gloves afford
any substantial support to the maintenance
of Turkish rule in Ireland. ."-Dailv

"The martyr king"
Charles the first, or the unfortunate
Mary Queen of Scots.
Two million and half in eighteen
months is bigger murder than any
of the disreputable characters who
polluted the British throne in past
times ever committed, yet, because
this woman is alleged to be a good
wife and mother, her reign is held
up as being an ornament to the
pages of history.
Is the world blind? Is America
blind? or is it wilfully obtuse that it
thus crawls at the feet of this woman
who has not even the courtesy to
treat its diplomatic representatives
with common politeness, or place
them on a footing with those OF
other nations.

our representative in London is
only what America deserves fol
countenancing this gigantic absur-
